The found set will always contain 10 records. I have created a number field called random number, but have not been able to make a script that will give the results i need.  This file is for learning Chinese characters.  Most grateful for your help.

Change the field to a calculation field (result is Number) using the formula = 

Random

and make it unstored. Then make your script sort the records by this field.
